A Date with Mandy
Jon Leland hurried down the street, checking his watch. Friday night was a busy night in the trendy downtown area, and the closest parking space had been several blocks away. Already 5 minutes past 9 in the evening, he was late to his date. The girl he was meeting, Mandy, had sparked something subtle, but very real within him. Her hold on him was surprising.
As he walked to the bar, Jon smiled widely despite himself. In fact, he had been grinning like a silly teenager all week. Some of the women at his office had picked up his sudden happiness and good-naturedly teased him about it. Despite his rather transparent denials that he hadn't met someone, he was the subject of much water cooler gossip.
It was awkward to be dating again, and he wasn't sure if he had a future with this particular girl, but he really hoped so. Mandy was so completely unlike any girl Jon had ever dated, even before his long, broken engagement.
She was not only younger than him, but had several large tattoos (and said she had more he couldn't see) and a pierced eyebrow. He would have sworn she had had a different hair color each of their dates, but that was probably his imagination.
Physically, she was shorter than most girls. She often wore heels or platform shoes, but confided to him that she was only 5 feet 2 inches without them. The little jiggle when she walked away, the certain look she gave him right before she smiled, the little way she bit her lower lip when she was embarrassed—these images were burned indelibly into Jon's brain.
But more than anything about her looks, it was her personality. She was passionately into new artists, plays, bands, and clubs. Jon was surprised at how much he enjoyed some of the new music scene and developing artists. Mandy wasn't surprised he would take to it. She had said Jon had an artistic heart inside that mathematical mind, which is why she agreed to the blind date in the first place. It hadn't made sense at first, but he understood later.
Mandy was one of the most—he could only describe it as
alive
—people he had ever met. She had an effortless, easy way with others, was quick to laugh, and had a playful sense of humor. She had a genuine kindness and sincerity that came out whether she was talking to him, a waiter, or strangers on the street. He wished he could see her more often, but she never agreed to meet him, or even talk to him, except once a week on Saturday evening.
Their very first blind date had been brief, a two hour chat over drinks at a far too hip for him bar further uptown. The blind date had been set up by a mutual friend, Catherine, Jon's boss at a previous job. He had known almost nothing about Mandy before the date.
When he begged for details. Catherine laughed at him, and only said, "Jon, I know you and I know her. I think you may well hit it off. Are you questioning my judgment or my taste? You are done feeling sorry for yourself, and are going to be a gentleman and take out my friend for a nice evening out."
Jon tried to refuse, but no one ever really said no to Catherine van Neumann. So he went, knowing nothing, and a little nervous.
Jon had been surprised at how gorgeous Mandy was when they first met. He thought back, remembering their first date. It had been at once wonderful, confusing, enthralling, and frustrating. So it was with all his meetings with her. Despite the differences in their age, during dinner they always conversed easily.
Mandy had a curious mind, and a quick wit. She was remarkably well read, and Jon suspected she might be far smarter than she believed herself to be.
When they had reached the club, Jon noticed it was quite trendy, not a place he would usually enjoy. He realized that he was probably the oldest person there. However, Mandy made him feel completely at ease and they sat and talked over the noise. He was having a decent enough time, despite his discomfort, but then Mandy heard "her favorite song" play and literally jump out of her seat. Jon never danced, and refused her pleas to join her until the buxom young woman playfully, but forcefully, dragged him onto floor.
Jon felt like an idiot on the dance floor, especially surrounded by younger dancers who were writhing to some tune he had previously heard only in passing. He had never enjoyed discos even as a much younger man. He was too awkward, too self-conscious even in his college days. But he somehow enjoyed himself. Mandy made him feel like the coolest, hottest man in the club.
She danced as if she wanted their bodies to press into one. Her plump apple-shaped ass ground into his groin. As she pressed into him, Mandy couldn't help but feel him involuntarily harden. She squeezed his hand hard and turned her head to look at him. She smiled at him with lusty approval as she bumped her ass up and down his erect penis with the beat.
Later, after many songs, they went back to their table. Jon leaned over to try to kiss her. Suddenly, Mandy put her hand over her mouth to stop him.
"John, I really like you," she whispered breathily into his ear. "I mean a lot. But we can't have sex or even kiss. It is not that I don't want to...I just can't. I can't explain it. I just can't."
Her words cause Jon's heart both to soar and plummet at the same time.
Mandy saw the confusion on Jon's face, and continued. "Don't worry, honey, it's not like I have a boyfriend or something. I haven't had a boyfriend for a long while. It is just that my situation is kinda...complicated. Please don't be mad with me. I
so
like being with you, and you are
so
cute."
Later as they sat, she held his hand as she pressed close to him. As they chatted, Jon apologized twice for how poor a dancer he was compared to her. He also mentioned, in his insecurity, how he was too old for her.
Mandy giggled drunkenly, leaned over, and whispered, "Jon, don't you get it? You are the hottest guy in this bar, a man among boys. I got so wet when we were dancing that I'm soaked through my thong. So I decided to take it off in the bathroom." Then she discreetly slid the side of her skirt up over her hip to show him, being careful to keep her feminine charms well covered.
Mandy's phone suddenly rang, and she excused herself to speak privately. After a few minutes she returned, "I need to go now. It's late and I have work tomorrow. I've already called taxis for us both."
Jon noted the pattern was the same as in their many later dates. They'd make a strong connection. She would be incredibly hot and sexual, but she would allow nothing more than a peck on the cheek. And always a phone call that ended with her abruptly going home.
Was she crazy? Or married? What was her deal? It was incredibly frustrating, but he was determined to see where this went.
The blast of a nearby car horn brought Jon back from his memories of their first date. He looked at his watch and redoubled his pace.
Jon did not expect anything different tonight as he entered the small bar to meet the short, perky girl. They'd have a wonderful time, with a warm and soul-changing conversation, with questions he'd ask but she would never answer. An evening sexually charged, yet stiflingly polite, then not even a kiss goodnight.
As he entered the bar, he saw that Mandy was already there. It was a rather quiet place, but upscale. The bar was narrow and intimate, a stylish holdover from the 40's, with its original aged brass and teak. There was a carpeted area in the middle around the bar itself. It was livelier and more open than the rest, where perhaps two dozen young professionals mingled. Beyond, in a tight, single file row were the small, recessed tables.
Mandy was waiting for him in the front area, standing beside a tall, narrow table. Jon was surprised to see with her a statuesque woman—Catherine, Mandy's friend and for Jon's former coworker and friendly acquaintance. The pair was catching a lot of eyes in the bar. Mandy was very pretty, but in cute girl next door way. She had a perky sort of hotness and wide feminine curves.
In contrast Catherine looked like a Greek statue. She was very tall—even taller than Jon when she was wearing her high designer stilettos—with a classical, sharp face, graceful neck, and impossibly toned legs. She had long straight blonde hair, bound into a ponytail reaching to her leather-cover ass. And that ass was probably the nicest Jon had ever personally seen, except perhaps Mandy's. She had a broad smile with perfect teeth and her lips were shaded a shocking blue. John had never seen her wear anything but designer clothing, projecting her confidence, but also feminine power. Catherine could have easily have been a model or actor, if she had not gone into the business world.
